| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Thanks. I'm not going to purchase, just trying to find out if it's worth listening to. Charles you and Al bring up very good points. Yes, I'm using all balanced cables. | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland My friend has convinced me to try the Aavik U300 integrated amp in lieu of changing preamps. He said it’s very close to Absolare. Has anyone ever heard the Aavik? | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles,In addition, I really respect the way you respond to threads. I always say, no absolutes with audio, only preferences! | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles,We must have similar taste. I don’t own Absolare, I have all Jeff Rowland components. I have no problem saying, the Absolare is head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever heard. Two days ago I listened at my friends house for 2 1/2 hours ... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Absolare integrated is a little under 25K, without phono. | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland I do have firsthand experience...I listen to my friend’s system often. I’ve heard his system with Rowland, Macintosh, MBL, Bricasti M28 amps, and the Absolare. I’m as familiar with his system, as my own. To my ears nothing has come close to the Ab... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Absolare, just Google...relatively popular in Ultra high-end | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Absolare! A couple of days ago I listened to my friend's system with an Absolare amp and preamp. Previously he had the Jeff Rowland 725 mono-amps. Wow, not even close and I own a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp. Of course the Absolare is about 90K more, b... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers? Mewsickbuff,I don't know if you are addressing your question to me? I can't tell you if the pl200 are steps in the right direction, only your ears can decide. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers? A few years ago I listened to Monitor Audio PL200 and PL300 series I. I didn't think they were horrible, but I didn't prefer their sound. A few months ago a really good friend told me I had to hear the new Monitor Audio PL500 II. I did some resear... | |
| Adding Center Channel tls49,thanks again. | |
| Adding Center Channel Yes, I have great imaging/ soundstage with 2 channel. I've already added the center and AV receiver for when I'm watching TV or movies. There is a significant difference with the center channel. When I listen to music I turn off the receiver/ ce... | |
| Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2? Sorry, previous post should read: Parasound JC2. | |
| Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2? I had the Paramount JC2 a couple of years ago. Initially I thought it was good, but I quickly sold it. In my system it didn't provide details and open up the soundstage like I expected. I was going from a DAC straight into the amp. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Euge Groove and Peter White last month at One World Theater in Austin, TX. Great place for music |
